chesty cough & grumpy after mmr jab.

[pipsqueakz]

Hi all just quick question.
My D's had his MMR on Wednesday and he now has chesty cough and runny nose. Is this common after MMR or could he just have a cold anyway?
Thanks.

pipsqueakz (love your name :) ). It is possible that this is from the MMR (would be a bit fast, usually, reactions take a week, but totally possible). If the cough gets worse, I would think cold rather than vaccine though. If in doubt, call the GP. I hope your DS is better soon!

Thanks for reply catherinaJTV. Thought everyone was ignoring me :( lol. My ds seems to get things quick and they go at same speed. He's a tough little mite. But will be keeping close eye on him.
